Isaac Hayes Slams South Park Scientology Dispute

Soul great ISAAC HAYES didn’t leave hit TV series SOUTH PARK because
they mocked his religion of Scientology – insisting it was simply
because he wasn’t enjoying the show anymore.

The 63-year-old soul singer, who voiced the popular character CHEF on
the show, had a falling out with creators MATT STONE and TREY PARKER
after they featured an episode mocking prominent Scientologist TOM
CRUISE and JOHN TRAVOLTA last year (05).

However, Hayes says the reason he ultimately moved on had nothing to do
with the episode saying, “I just decided it was time to leave. For a
time it was fun. The fun ran out.”
